Italian Bhurgo (transl. Italian Boy) is a Konkani play written and directed by Lucasinho Ribeiro. The play premiered on Easter Sunday, 17 April 1892, at the New Alfred Theatre (now Police Commissioner's head office) in Bombay, British India. It was the first Konkani play or teatro (tiatr) ever staged. Ribeiro's first play was staged with the assistance of fellow Goans Caitaninho Fernandes, Agostinho Mascarenhas, João Agostinho Fernandes, and Fransquino Fernandes, collectively known as the Goa Portuguese Dramatic Company. The play was based on an Italian operetta by the Gonzalez Brothers.
